Asian-inspired therapy to complement your day.
After exploring Chinese culture, continue the Eastern wellness experience with Japanese Shiatsu.
Shiatsu massage is a 60–120 minute Japanese pressure therapy that uses finger and palm pressure on the body's energy meridians to relieve pain, reduce stress, and restore balance — performed clothed without oil, delivered to your hotel or home in Ho Chi Minh City from 500,000 VND. The name literally means "finger pressure" (shi = finger, atsu = pressure), and it aims to promote the body's natural healing abilities.

“The shiatsu pressure point work sorted out three weeks of accumulated neck and shoulder tension from back-to-back flights and desk work. The therapist knew exactly where to hold and release. My chronic upper-back issue felt better after one session than it had in a month.”

Cho Lon (literally 'big market') is one of the largest and most historically significant Chinese urban communities in Southeast Asia, with a continuous Chinese-Vietnamese presence stretching back over 300 years. The area encompasses primarily Districts 5 and 6 and retains a distinctly different character from the rest of HCMC — narrow grids of streets lined with traditional shophouses, Chinese-script signage, Taoist and Buddhist temples, and herbal medicine shops coexisting with modern commercial activity. Binh Tay Market is the commercial heart; Thien Hau Temple, Ong Bon Pagoda, and Phuoc An Hoi Quan Pagoda are the main religious sites. The area is most active in the early morning when wholesale market trade peaks and locals fill the congee and dim sum restaurants that have operated here for generations.
